        * docs/gst/gstreamer-sections.txt:
        * gst/gstutils.h:
        Always use the unaligned variants of GST_READ_UINT* and GST_WRITE_UINT*
        as it's too easy to break the ISO C strict aliasing rules with simple
        casts to the corresponding type and this would introduce hard to debug
        bugs. Fixes bug #545714.

        API: Add GST_READ_UINT24_(LE|BE) and GST_WRITE_UINT24_(LE|BE).
